Why Red Sox have shot at Teixeira

The Red Sox may still have a shot at Mark Teixeira. While the Angels have made signing him their No. 1 priority and Teixeira himself would love to stay there, the problem is that the Angels' management style is to go in hard and get it done quickly, while agent Scott Boras would rather allow the market to develop and get other teams involved. For that reason, the Red Sox have a chance.

They should sign this boy. He will bring back the greatness they once had in their lineup.

Why do they have a shot......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Tex, Dustin, Youk as the infielders of the Sox in 2009. the future looks bright...

Of course Boras knows how to play the game..........

November 3, 2008  07:49 AM ET

He would be a great addition. But I am not sure they will want to play the salary game as much as Boras will demand.... I don't know. It will be an interesting offseason. I'd be surprised if he signs somewhere before the winter meetings...

Exactly. As of late, they are the NEW NY Yankees

Boras' clients don't 'rush' or 'jump' into things....
He'll go where the most $$ is....period.
- and why not?
whatever team at this point is willing to throw the farm at him
is obviously a contender.....he isn't getting a big offer from
say- the Pirates- so whether he goes to Anaheim, boston, ny
what does he care.......

I just don't get it... Very good player? yes. Great? I don't know....
Over his career he averages about 150 games/year, 33 HR, 111 RBI and a .290 avg. Great numbers, but not for the money that most are anticipating he'll receive. He wants Manny money, but he'll be 29 in the spring and has yet to show "Manny" numbers. No way this guy's worth $20 mil/yr., but then again... are any of them REALLY worth the cash?
There is no logic in pro sports contracts.

You forgot his gold-glove defense and the fact that he hits from both sides of the plate.

November 3, 2008  09:41 AM ET

So the article should really read: Why every other team out there has a shot at Teixeira.

November 3, 2008  09:42 AM ET

Morning everyone. Jr see the new rankings lol.
